      ARM: fix vmlinux.lds.S discarding sections · 6760b109
      由 Russell King 提交于 
      We are seeing linker errors caused by sections being discarded, despite
the linker script trying to keep them.  The result is (eg):

`.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of net/built-in.o

This is the relevent part of the linker script (reformatted to make it
clearer):
| SECTIONS
| {
| /*
| * unwind exit sections must be discarded before the rest of the
| * unwind sections get included.
| */
| /DISCARD/ : {
| *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text)
| *(.ARM.extab.exit.text)
| }
| ...
| .exit.text : {
| *(.exit.text)
| *(.memexit.text)
| }
| ...
| /DISCARD/ : {
| *(.exit.text)
| *(.memexit.text)
| *(.exit.data)
| *(.memexit.data)
| *(.memexit.rodata)
| *(.exitcall.exit)
| *(.discard)
| *(.discard.*)
| }
| }

Now, this is what the linker manual says about discarded output sections:

|    The special output section name `/DISCARD/' may be used to discard
| input sections.  Any input sections which are assigned to an output
| section named `/DISCARD/' are not included in the output file.

No questions, no exceptions. It doesn't say "unless they are listed
before the /DISCARD/ section." Now, this is what asn-generic/vmlinux.lds.S
says:
| /*
|  * Default discarded sections.
|  *
|  * Some archs want to discard exit text/data at runtime rather than
|  * link time due to cross-section references such as alt instructions,
|  * bug table, eh_frame, etc. DISCARDS must be the last of output
|  * section definitions so that such archs put those in earlier section
|  * definitions.
|  */

And guess what - the list _always_ includes .exit.text etc.

Now, what's actually happening is that the linker is reading the script,
and it finds the first /DISCARD/ output section at the beginning of the
script. It continues reading the script, and finds the 'DISCARD' macro
at the end, which having been postprocessed results in another
/DISCARD/ output section. As the linker already contains the earlier
/DISCARD/ output section, it adds it to that existing section, so it
effectively is placed at the start. This can be seen by using the -M
option to ld:

| Linker script and memory map
|
|                 0xc037c080                jiffies = jiffies_64
|
| /DISCARD/
|  *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text)
|  *(.ARM.extab.exit.text)
|  *(.exit.text)
|  *(.memexit.text)
|  *(.exit.data)
|  *(.memexit.data)
|  *(.memexit.rodata)
|  *(.exitcall.exit)
|  *(.discard)
|  *(.discard.*)
|
|                 0xc0008000                . = 0xc0008000
|
| .head.text      0xc0008000      0x1d0
|                 0xc0008000                _text = .
|  *(.head.text)
|  .head.text     0xc0008000      0x1d0 arch/arm/kernel/head.o
|                 0xc0008000                stext
|
| .text           0xc0008200   0x2d78d0
|                 0xc0008200                _stext = .
|                 0xc0008200                __exception_text_start = .
|  *(.exception.text)
|  .exception.text
| ...

As you can see, all the discarded sections are grouped together - and
as a result of it being the first output section, they all appear before
any other section.

The result is that not only is the unwind information discarded (as
intended), but also the .exit.text, despite us wanting to have the
.exit.text preserved.

We can't move the unwind information elsewhere, because it'll then be
included even when we do actually discard the .exit.text (and similar)
sections.

So, work around this by avoiding the generic DISCARDS macro, and instead
conditionalize the sections to be discarded ourselves.  This avoids the
ambiguity in how the linker assigns input sections to output sections,
making our script less dependent on undocumented linker behaviour.

      asm alternatives: remove incorrect alignment notes · a7f934d4
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now
unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16
bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much.

However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for
the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit
59e97e4d ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative").
So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good
idea.

On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly
hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>.  That header file had
used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts
have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and
rwsem).

That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment
would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section,
causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction
replacement.

So just remove all the alignment noise entirely.  It's wrong, and it's
unnecessary.  The section itself is already properly aligned by the
linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the
proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned.  So if the align directive
were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious
bug to begin with.

      xen/e820: if there is no dom0_mem=, don't tweak extra_pages. · e3b73c4a
      由 David Vrabel 提交于 
      The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM"
(d312ae87) breaks machines that
do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with:

reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff
(XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e
(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:
...

The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the
'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed).
The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages'
using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem
has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with
MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation:

    return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES);

and use it:

     extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages();
     if (extra_limit >= max_pfn)
             extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn;
     else
             extra_pages = 0;

which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432)
- 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller),
and then we add that value to the E820 making it:

  Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
  Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable)

which is clearly wrong. It should look as so:

  Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
  Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable)

Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X
is used.

      openrisc: don't use pt_regs in struct sigcontext · d7cb6667
      由 Jonas Bonn 提交于 
      As it was decided not to export struct pt_regs to userspace, struct
sigcontext shouldn't be using it either.  The pt_regs struct for OpenRISC
is kernel internal and the layout of the registers may change in the
future.  The struct user_regs_struct is what is guaranteed to remain
stable, so struct sigcontext may use that instead.

This patch removes the usage of struct pt_regs in struct sigcontext and
makes according changes in signal.c to get the register layout right.

The usp field is removed from the sigcontext structure as this information
is already contained in the user_regs_struct.

      Add a missing array terminator to omap2430_usbhsotg_addrs[].  Without
this terminator, the omap_hwmod resource building code runs off the

      xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM · d312ae87
      由 David Vrabel 提交于 
      Use the domain's maximum reservation to limit the amount of extra RAM
for the memory balloon. This reduces the size of the pages tables and
the amount of reserved low memory (which defaults to about 1/32 of the
total RAM).

On a system with 8 GiB of RAM with the domain limited to 1 GiB the
kernel reports:

Before:

Memory: 627792k/4472000k available

After:

Memory: 549740k/11132224k available

A increase of about 76 MiB (~1.5% of the unused 7 GiB).  The reserved
low memory is also reduced from 253 MiB to 32 MiB.  The total
additional usable RAM is 329 MiB.

For dom0, this requires at patch to Xen ('x86: use 'dom0_mem' to limit
the number of pages for dom0') (c/s 23790)
